A Graded Course of Instruction for Public Schools with copious Practical Directions to Teachers, and Observations on Primar Schools, School Discipline, School Records, Self-Reliance, Lessons of Obedience School Architecture, and Books of Reference. By W. H. WELLS, A. M. Nev York: A. S. Barnes & Burr. 1863. 200 pages. Price, $1.00. This little volume is crowded full of practical suggestions and directions fo teachers and committees charged with the organization and instruction o Graded Schools-of schools classified according to the attainments of the pupiis where each grade or class constitutes a part of a system, in which the facultie of children are regularly developed by studies and teaching appropriate to thei age and progress. These suggestions and directions are not simply the specula tions of an ingenious, thoughtful, well read educator, but the last results of long and varied experience of a teacher and school officer, and of wide observa tion in the best schools of the country, and of thoughtful study of the best lite rature of education in the light of that experience and observation, all brough to bear on the practical solution of problems in hand, and in which success, o failure can be seen by teachers and parents directly interested. The suggestion of the writer are sustained or illustrated by frequent references to reports and treatises, where the same topics are thoroughly discussed. These reference alone give to this volume a peculiar value—far beyond its cost, to any teache old or young. We commend the work to every teacher and school officer. SCHOOL AND FAMILY CHARTS. New York: Harper & Brothers. By MARCIUS WILLSON and N. A. CALKINS A MANUAL OF INFORMATION AND SUGGESTIONS FOR OBJECT LESSONS, in Course of Elementary Instruction, adapted to the Use of the School and Family Charts and other Aids in Teaching. By MARCIUS WILLSON. New York Harper & Brothers. 1862. 336 pages. These Charts in style of execution and range of subjects are far beyond any thing now before the American public. Bound in a volume they are an ornamen tal, interesting, and instructive contribution to any family library, and a help to the student and teacher, whether old or young. They should accompany thi Series of Readers prepared by Mr. Willson, and should be used with the help of the Manual prepared by the same author. A MANUAL OF ELEMENTARY INSTRUCTION, for the Use of Public and Private Schools, and Normal Classes; containing a Graduated Course of Object Lesson: for Training the Senses and Developing the Faculties of Children. By E. H SHELDON. New York: Charles Scribner. 1862. 465 pages. This work is founded on the Manual of Elementary Instruction of Miss Eliza beth Mayo, which was prepared originally as Lessons on Objects for an Infan School, and afterwards adopted in the Model and Training Schools of the Hom and Colonial Infant and Juvenile School Society in London. New lessons or Objects, Color, Moral Instruction, and Animals, have been added by Miss Jones AL Ir is now twenty-four years since, in an address on "School Architecture," we urged on parents and committees to furnish their school-rooms with "Maps, Charts, and Real Measures of all kinds, linear, superficial, solid and liquid, for the exercise of the eye and hand, vases for flowers, native roses, and plants, and cabinets of real objects, as the subjects of oral instruction in the field of the pupil's every day observation and experience." In an address to parents and teachers, first delivered just twenty-five years ago, but repeated in substance a thousand times since, with variations, in more than one hundred of the principal cities and villages of the country, we laid it down as a condition of a successful system of public schools in such cities and villages, that "these schools should be graded" "on the great principle of the equality of attainments, which will generally include scholars of the same age "-"that each school should have but few classes, and that each class should be as large as is consistent with thoroughness of individual examination by the teacher, who should not be distracted by a multiplicity and variety of cares "—"that in every village district there should be a Primary School, furnished with appropriate seats, furniture, apparatus, and means of visible illustration, and surrounded with dry, airy, and pleasant play-grounds, with shelter in inclement weather, and with flower-borders, shrubbery, and shade trees, the uncovered school-room of physical and moral education, and of the manners and personal habits of children,"-that "to teach those schools properly, to train boys and girls to mild dispositions, graceful and respectful manners and unquestioning obedience, to cultivate the senses to habits of quick and accurate observation and discrimination, to teach the use of the voice and of simple, ready, and correct language, and by appropriate exercises in drawing, calculation and lessons in the properties and classification of objects to begin the cultivation of the intellectual faculties," "to do these things and more, required a teacher of a rare union of qualities and qualifications seldom found in one of a hundred of the male sex, and to be looked for with the greatest chance of success among females" "in whose own hearts, love, hope, and patience have first kept school." In looking over the "Manuals on Object Teaching "Lessons on Objects"-"Primary Object Lessons "-"Oral Lessons on Social Science "-" Outlines of a System of Object Teaching "-"Child's Book of Nature "—"Model Lessons," &c., &c., published within two years, we are more than ever satisfied that "the world moves," although we have thought that it moves in some directions rather slowly. The danger now is, that teachers will take up the new methods, from Lessons prepared by others, and not wrought out by themselves from principles thoroughly mastered, and adapted to the age and attainments of their own pupils, and to the locality and pursuits of their own neighborhood. Object Teaching can be made as verbal, mechanical, and monotonous, as any other. AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS AND POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTES. It is now twenty-four years since we published in a voluminous Appendix to an official report, an account of the principal Agricultural and Polytechnic Schools of Europe. But we little thought we should ever be able to chronicle such action as that of the United States Government, in granting over 800,000 acres of public lands, to aid the several States in establishing such institutious. |
